Huntsville Regional Medical Campus students, family medicine and internal medicine residents, full-time and volunteer faculty, and their dean, Roger Smalligan, M.D., MPH, had three oral presentations and six posters accepted to the Southern Regional Meeting (SRM) that took place Feb. 22-24 in New Orleans.
“Regional and national scientific meetings provide a wonderful opportunity for our students and residents to compete, share their research and writing efforts, and network with people from other universities,” says Smalligan. “We are happy to support them in these efforts, and it improves the visibility and reputation of the Huntsville campus in the academic arena.”
The SRM is a joint achievement sponsored by the Southern Society of Clinical Investigation and its partnering organizations. For the SRM, the Southern Society for Clinical Investigation joins each year with the southern regional chapters of four national organizations: the Southern Section of the American Federation for Medical Research, the Southern Society of General Internal Medicine, the Southern Society of Pediatric Research, the Southern Region of the Academic Pediatric Association, and the American Society for Nutrition.
